lol

you can block even odd characters (someone has a name featuring only two chinese characters, another has a crescent and star), you just need to know how to specify them in the javascript. involves hexadecimal to decimal conversions, or vice versa. oh, is in examples in script, use unicode - \uABCD (but view source shows characters as decimal entities - 〹 hence the conversion)

We should come up with one that lets you killfile certain boards' thread from showing up in Site New Answers! I could read everything else and leave out ILM without having to click anything besides refresh!!

the killfile code is very delicate in terms of document structure and every time keith adds something new it tends to break. will look into it and post a new version (and also try and make it less delicate)

check you have the right version (20090809) and you'll need to copy over your fules list

the extra space wasn't a problem for me as i was using non-anchored substrings but if anyone is using ^ in their fules then they may need to add a space. the problem was an extra level or two of divs in the messages. have now changed the code so it finds the name then moves outwards from the link until it finds the 'message' div. which should be more robust.
